Description

A flaw was found in bn.js. When calling the maskn(0) function on a BN instance, there is potential for this action to corrupt the internal state of the library, causing critical methods such as toString() and divmod() to enter an infinite loop. The primary consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS), where the affected process hangs indefinitely.
